Luck not on Juventus' side with Champions League draw, says Nedved

The Italian side were paired with Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid in the last 16 of the competition, much to the dismay of the vice-chairman

Pavel Nedved lamented Juventus' misfortune after the Bianconeri were paired with Atletico Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League on Monday.

Juve continue to blaze a trail domestically - they have won the last seven Scudetti and already established an eight-point lead at the summit this season after 16 games - but have not been crowned European champions since 1996.

They recruited Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid to bolster an already imposing squad but Nedved was relatively downbeat when asked to assess the clash with the defending Europa League champions.
